Successful at Nottingham in July, Destinys Rock failed to cope with a 4lb rise last time while it was soft ground when Lady Alavesa went close at Ripon. Sea Of Mystery’s recent success at Brighton came over 1m4f and Cosmic Ray’s earlier win at Nottingham came in a lowly classified event. COMPASS POINT took the step up to today’s trip in his stride when landing a hat-trick at Chelmsford earlier in the year so a chance is taken on Robin Brisland’s charge despite returning from an absence.
